Looking around my kitchen in early January I thought to myself "after a robust first go in December surely there's nothing left to share for Celia's 'In My Kitchen' January linkup". Boy was I wrong. There were of course a few bits and pieces from Christmas but it is amazing what else pops up when you're looking for it! Off we go… In my kitchen this January: Last month I made it quite clear that we have unfortunate counter tops, so I figured this month we'd start off with a peek at them. … [Read more...]
Shiitake Bacon & a Vegan BLT
Bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, for years everyone has been obsessed with bacon. The craze reached a fever pitch somewhere around 2010/11 and while every expert has predicted [hoped for] its demise ever since our addiction to bacon seems to give no hint of waning. Not only are there stacks of savory recipes out there but you can find hundreds of festivals in celebration of it and websites devoted to its existence. Then, as is always the case with any trend, bacon made its way into desserts. You … [Read more...]
How to: Pit Cherries (without a cherry pitter)
I'm not a big fan of single use tools. The drawers are pretty much full of multi-purpose bits and pieces already so whenever I come across a great way to make a task easier by simply using items already around the house I'm all for it. I originally saw this method over at Food 52 - and immediately filed it away, memories of red and purple stained fingernails from months earlier still spectacularly clear in my mind. I may have let these cherries languish a bit too long in the fridge before … [Read more...]
Sour Cherry & Macadamia Cake – plus 15 of my favourite cherry recipes!
Ah, shimmery childhood memories. You know the ones, they dance and glisten around the edges, things are bigger - because you were smaller, and brighter - as memories can be, and you're never quite sure how much truth exists in the memory versus how much is stacked and stitched-on from photos and stories told around long ago late night boardgames. I have a shimmery, wispy childhood memory of a pool with a mermaid on the bottom, it was in the basement of a house at the edge of a cherry … [Read more...]
Mushroom & Lentil Burgers – Vegan, Gluten Free
It's fine, don't worry about me, I'll just have salad and bread... It's a phrase known well by many non-meat eaters when faced with a weekend BBQ in Australia. Barbequing here generally consists of steaks, sausages, a bit more steak, another sausage, and maybe some chops. No, we don't generally 'throw another shrimp on the barbie' [and even if we did we'd call them prawns and they'd probably still have the heads on] and while there is always a pile of white bread or rolls and perhaps some … [Read more...]
Crab Scrambled Eggs
It is no secret how much I adore brunch. And as there is no better way to start a new day than with a slightly indulgent plate of eggs, it stands to reason there is no better way to start a new year than in the same manner! I stumbled across the Alaskan Crab Co at an industry trade-show-style event a few months back - tasted the crab, tasted the caviar, picked up a card - and promptly forgot all about it. Then the other day, during a post Christmas shopping fit, RJ and I were making our way … [Read more...]
The best of 2012!
What a year 2012 has been - although I'm not quite sure where its gone, wasn't it March just a few days ago...? Anyway, I just wanted to take a quick moment and thank you for all of your support this past year. Thank you for stopping by and reading, for commenting, for sharing. I never thought when I started this little corner of the Internets that it would turn into such a big part of my life! So first a few of your favourite recipes - based on views, and a few of my favourite recipes - … [Read more...]
